These Nine Mexico City Pairs Prove Love is Real
By now you're hopefully familiar with our 'Love on the Streets of..." series where we spot real-life couples in some of the coolest metropolitan cities on the planet. So far, we've hit up NYC (home of Cosmo's headquarters), London, and for our third installment, we headed to beautiful Mexico City.
We scoured CDMX and scouted nine clearly-obsessed-with-each-other couples to photograph for our Summer 2024 issue and asked them about how they met, how long they’ve been together, and exactly what makes their relationships work. Our takeaway after chatting with these lovers south of the border? That we've got further proof that true love does, in fact, exist.
Our next stop is Los Angeles. Stay tuned: We may be coming to a city near you soon. ;)
